. COOKING-RANGE.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 102,925, dated May 10,1870.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, B. W. DUNKLEE, of Boston, in the county of Sufl'olkand State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and use.

ful Improvements in Ranges for Cooking and I do hereby declare that thefollowing is afull and exact descriptionthereof, reference being had tothe accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference markedthereon.

The nature of my invention consists, first, in

anewand peculiar'arrangement of the boil ingplaces in relation to thefire-pot and the draft-flues; second, in the relation and arrangementofthe fire-pot, boilin g-places, draft-flues, and ovens; third, in thearrangement of the draft-flues, draft-deflectors, and ovens; fourth, incombining with the hot closet of a range'a vapor and smoke passage todraw off the exhalations produced by cooking.

To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I willproceed to describe its constructionpand use.

' boiling-places D D, O O, and E are arranged in respect to each otherand to the draft-flues D2 and O in a peculiar manner, as shown inFig. 1. The places G and D are immediately over the fire, while D and Oare so placed that they are in a direct line of draft between the fireand the draft-flues. The fifth boilingplace, E, not being in the line ofdraft, is warmed principally from the direct radiation from the fire.This arrangement of the boiling-places admits of great economy in theuse of fuel, as itallows of four boiling places-namelyD D G and Oto beacted upon directly from the fire. If but two places are required,one-of the dampers J J may be closed and nearly the whole efi'ect ofthefire be turned uponthree of the boilingfplaces. For instance, if thedamper J be closed, most of the effects of the fire would be directedagainst the boilingplaces 0, D, and D, the productsof combustion allpassing up the flue D This arrangement of the boiling-places also admitsof a new and improved form for the body of the range,

so that the cook can approach it upon either side without coming incontact with the fire, thus endangering her clothes. In fact, she

may do all her work standing at the side of the range.

Each of the ovens L and L has a separate flue, connected with the fireand smoke-pipe, so that they may be both used at the same time, or dulyone may be used.

As the ovens and their flue-connections are alike, it is onlynecessaryto describe one.

The heated products of combustion, coming up the flue D Fig.3,circulates under the oven and up its rear side, and finally passes up inone of two interior passages between the two ovens shown in Fig. 3. Itthen circulates over the top of the oven, as indicated by the arrows TT, Fig. 3, around the deflector 0, into the smoke-flue N.

The deflectors 0 0, Fig. 3, are so located on the top of the oven inrelation to the flues S and S and the smoke-flue N that the heatedproducts of combustion, as they ascend the flues S-and S between theovens, have to flow over all parts of the top of the'oven beforeentering the smoke-flue. The deflector H Fig. 2, partially closes theopening to the rear of the oven to prevent an undue amount of heatpassing in that direction.

'M, Figs. 1 and 2, represents the hot-closet, undera part of which theflueR, Fig. 2, passes, the object of B being to provide a passage forthe escape of vapors and gases generated by cooking.

R is a register, immediately under the shelf M, Figs. 1 and 2, by meansof which the passage It may be closed or opened; The passage Rdischarges into a small passage, N", separated from the smoke-flue by apartition extending upward ashort distance, and then discharging intoit. I

What I claim as my invention, and desireto secure by Letters Patent,is-- 1. The arrangement of the boiling-places D D, O O, and E inrelation to the fire-pot P and draft-flues D 0 substantially asdescribed, and for the purpose set forth.

2'. The combination and arrangement of the boiling-plaees,thedraft-fines D Gfltheirdzunprange the vapor and smoke-passage R, subers JJ, and the ovens L and L, substantially stantially as described, and forthe purpose set as described, and for the purpose set forth. forth.

3. The arrangement of the drafbflues D 0 deflectors H ovens L L, anddeflectors O O, substantially as described, and for the purpose B. WELLSDUNKLEE.
